Align Technology Announces Fourth Quarter and Fiscal 2008 Results

SANTA CLARA, Calif., January 28, 2009 — Align Technology, Inc. (Nasdaq: ALGN) today reported financial results for the fourth quarter and fiscal year ended December 31, 2008.

Total net revenues for the fourth quarter of fiscal 2008 (Q4 08) were $74.1 million compared to $72.5 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2007 (Q4 07) and compared to $75.2 million reported in the third quarter of 2008 (Q3 08).  For fiscal 2008 (FY 08), net revenues of $304.0 million increased 6.9 percent from $284.3 million reported for fiscal 2007 (FY 07).

“Despite the challenges of fiscal 2008 we had many significant accomplishments,” said Thomas M. Prescott, president and CEO of Align Technology.  “We successfully launched three new products including Invisalign Teen, grew annual revenues during the worst business environment in decades, and took action to reduce the Company’s cost structure.  As we embark on a new year, the economy remains very difficult and our outlook is more uncertain.  However, the market opportunity and value proposition for Invisalign is strong and we will continue to execute our strategy to drive adoption worldwide.”

Net profit for Q4 08 was $65.5 million, or $0.98 per diluted share. This includes a restructuring charge of $4.0 million and a favorable impact of approximately $64.6 million, or $0.97 per diluted share from the release of a tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets.  This is compared to net profit of $5.7 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in Q4 07, and net profit of $5.2 million, or $0.08 per diluted share in Q3 08.  Stock-based compensation expense included in Q4 08 net profit was $3.9 million compared to $3.4 million in Q4 07, and $4.4 million in Q3 08.

Net profit for fiscal 2008 was $80.0 million, or $1.18 per diluted share, which includes a restructuring charge of $6.2 million and the favorable impact of approximately $64.6 million, or $0.95 per diluted share from the release of a tax valuation allowance on specific deferred tax assets in Q4 08. This compares to a net profit of $35.7 million, or $0.50 per diluted share in fiscal 2007. Stock-based compensation expense included in FY 08 net profit was $17.1 million compared to $12.2 million in FY 07.

Align Technology, Inc. Q4 and 2008 Year End Earnings Release

To supplement our consolidated financial statements, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations, non-GAAP net profit and non-GAAP earnings per share.  For Q4 08 and fiscal 2008, the non-GAAP financial measures excluded the impact of restructuring and the release of the tax valuation allowance from net profit.  For Q3 08, the non-GAAP financial measures excluded the impact of restructuring, and for fiscal 2007, the non-GAAP financial measures excluded the impact of the Patients First Program from net profit. A detailed reconciliation between GAAP and non-GAAP information is contained in the tables following the financial tables of this release.

Non-GAAP net profit for Q4 08 was $4.9 million, or $0.07 per diluted share. This is compared to non-GAAP net profit of $7.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share in Q3 08. In Q4 07, there was no difference between GAAP and non-GAAP net profit.  Non-GAAP net profit for fiscal 2008 was $21.5 million or $0.32 per diluted share. This compares to a non-GAAP net profit of $34.0 million or $0.48 per diluted share in fiscal 2007.

Business Outlook

Commenting on Align’s business outlook, Kenneth Arola, vice president of finance and CFO said, “The economic environment and its impact on consumer spending has created greater uncertainty for our business.  As a result, we are only providing guidance for Q1 09.  The greatest uncertainties beyond Q1 involve case volume and revenues.  We believe it will be very difficult to grow in this environment and are expecting revenues to decline from 2008. We will continue to invest in our key strategic growth initiatives and manage overall expenses to drive operating profitability for fiscal 2009.”

For the first quarter of fiscal 2009 (Q1 09), Align Technology expects net revenues to be in a range of $65 million to $69 million. Operating margin for Q1 09 is expected to be in a range of -4% to 0%. GAAP earnings per diluted share for Q1 09 is expected to be in a range of a loss of $0.04 to breakeven.  Non-GAAP earnings per diluted share for Q1 09 is expected to be in a range of a loss of $0.03 to a profit of $0.01. Stock-based stock compensation expense for Q1 09 is expected to be approximately $4.2 million.

A more comprehensive business outlook is available following the financial tables of this release.

About Align Technology, Inc.

Align Technology designs, manufactures and markets Invisalign, a proprietary method for treating malocclusion, or the misalignment of teeth. Invisalign corrects malocclusion using a series of clear, nearly invisible, removable appliances that gently move teeth to a desired final position. Because it does not rely on the use of metal or ceramic brackets and wires, Invisalign significantly reduces the aesthetic and other limitations associated with braces. Invisalign is appropriate for treating adults and teens. Align Technology was founded in March 1997 and received FDA clearance to market Invisalign in 1998. Today, the Invisalign product family includes Invisalign, Invisalign Teen, Invisalign Assist, Invisalign Express, and Vivera Retainers.

About non-GAAP Financial Measures
To supplement our consolidated financial statements and our business outlook, we use the following non-GAAP financial measures: non-GAAP operating expenses, non-GAAP profit from operations, non-GAAP net profit, and non-GAAP earnings per share, which exclude the effect of charges associated with the restructuring, Patients First Program expenses and the related tax effect of those expenses, as well as the release of the tax valuation allowance. The presentation of this financial information is not intended to be considered in isolation or as a substitute for, or superior to, the financial information prepared and presented in accordance with GAAP. For more information on these non-GAAP financial measures, please see the tables captioned “Business Outlook Summary” included at the end of this release.

We use these non-GAAP financial measures for financial and operational decision making and as a means to evaluate period-to-period comparisons. Our management believes that these non-GAAP financial measures provide meaningful supplemental information regarding our “core operating performance”. Management believes that “core operating performance” represents Align’s performance in the ordinary, ongoing and customary course of its operations. Accordingly, management excludes from “core operating performance” certain expenditures and other items that may not be indicative of our operating performance including discrete cash charges that are infrequent or one-time in nature. We believe that both management and investors benefit from referring to these non-GAAP financial measures in assessing our performance and when planning, forecasting and analyzing future periods. These non-GAAP financial measures also facilitate management's internal evaluation of period-to-period comparisons. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors both because (1) they allow for greater transparency with respect to key metrics used by management in its financial and operational decision making and (2) they are provided to and used by our institutional investors and the analyst community to facilitate comparisons with prior and subsequent reporting periods.

Forward-Looking Statement
This news release, including the tables below, contains forward-looking statements, including statements regarding, certain business metrics for the first quarter of 2009, including anticipated revenue, gross margin, operating expense, operating income, earnings per share, case shipments and cash. Forward-looking statements contained in this news release and the tables below relating to expectations about future events or results are based upon information available to Align as of the date hereof. Readers are cautioned that these forward-looking statements are only predictions and are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. As a result, actual results may differ materially and adversely from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, failure to achieve the expected cost savings and efficiencies related to the restructuring, including a delay in the implementation of the relocation of certain customer facing organizations from Santa Clara, California to Costa Rica and greater than anticipated costs resulting from the relocation, changes in the size of the expected restructuring charge, loss of key personnel responsible for execution of the relocation in a timely manner, failure to effectively manage the relocation resulting in decreased customer service levels, the possibility that the development and release of new products does not proceed in accordance with the anticipated timeline, the possibility that the market for the sale of these new products may not develop as expected, the risks relating to Align's ability to sustain or increase profitability or revenue growth in future periods while controlling expenses, continued customer demand for Invisalign and new products, changes in consumer spending habits as a result of, among other things, prevailing economic conditions, levels of employment, salaries and wages and consumer confidence, the timing of case submissions from our doctors within a quarter, acceptance of Invisalign by consumers and dental professionals, Align's third party manufacturing processes and personnel, foreign operational, political and other risks relating to Align's international manufacturing operations, Align's ability to protect its intellectual property rights, competition from manufacturers of traditional braces and new competitors, Align's ability to develop and successfully introduce new products and product enhancements, and the loss of key personnel. These and other risks are detailed from time to time in Align's periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including, but not limited to, its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 26, 2008. Align undertakes no obligation to revise or update publicly any forward-looking statements for any reason.
